Lol, yeah Adam removed his and i can tell you that in the middle of summer he is one unhappy camper. for about 2 months out of the year i would be hot with all windows down with out my AC. the rest of the time i can deal with it off, but it is worth having

I got rid of my p/s and still have my a/c <<<wife) You can just move the a/c com. out of the way (still hooked up) to get to the p/s crap. Then just put it back. Maybe i can tell my wife the a/c whent bad and then i can take it out.

yank it, rip it, cut it, pull it, just get rid of it. i did it a couple months ago along with my A/C. cleans things up nicely. i can change my spark plugs in no time flat now and see a whole lot more of the engine.

My PS pump died last summer, and like an idiot I replaced it. Anyway, I plan to pull it this winter.

ok guys, im almost done. took out the pump and all the lines. almost done plugging up the rack. i was just wondering if i HAS TO loop the lines on the passenger side of the rack together. im doing all this with the motor still in the car so its kinda hard to get to.

ohh, and i was able to do all this without removing the a/c. woohoo!!! it gets too hot in hawaii to go without it. hehehe

10mm fine pitch for the smaller one. For the other, I just filled the hole in the middle w/ magnum steel.

there's another version w/ 3 holes you have to plug. Lucky for me, I didn't have this version. Hope I helped.
